Dr. Blue played a central role in honoring the life and message of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. For over twenty years, he chaired the Arizona MLK Celebration Committee, guiding the annual awards, scholarship programs, and community festival that brought people together in shared purpose and reflection. His vision ensured that Dr. King’s legacy continued to inspire generations throughout Arizona.

The family expresses heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time. Information about services and arrangements will be shared as it becomes available. In the days ahead, the family asks for continued prayers and invites the community to join them in honoring a life lived with purpose, faith, and unwavering compassion.
